Noodles and Company?
The mention of 2x the FDA serving size means that their serving size would be twice that of the FDA serving size. This means that the dish is as many calories as it says it is, it's just that the FDA serving sizes would be smaller than the whole dish.
Cookware Brands. Good Choice, or Not?
I'm not 100% sure of the "line?" It's their 13 piece stainless steel set. It's awesome! I'm liking it, thus far. Also, the Analon knive set is VERY nice indeed, and are well balanced and comfortable.

Yeah I understand, but I'm only 18, I still have a long ways to go.
Cooking steak indoors?
I have heard so many different ways to do this, and since I live in minnesota, grilling won't be possible soon.
I want to get the most out of my steaks.
Some say simply stove top, some say a combination of stove top and oven. What does everyone else recommend?
Also, include cooking temps, time, ect.

I see what you mean, although when I cook, I tend to need a gazillion pots. The set I bought contains commonly used items. And I know the different knives I have will be used, as I know under what conditions I need to use a specific knife.
Basically the Calphalon set came with 3 different sized pots, 3 different sized fry pans, a large stock pot, a drainer/steamer, and lids. They will all probably be used. As for the knives, it comes with a chef's knife, pearing, 6 steak knives, shears, bread/serrated, boning, and one other that I can't refer to since I'm at work.
But I see what you mean, there were sets there that had items I would never use in a million years.
I also bought the calphalon set because it came with a free $150 value Dutch Oven which replaced the over-used one at home.
Cookware Brands. Good Choice, or Not?
I'm 18 and I've been cooking for a few years now, and I am an aspiring chef. I was tolerating the cookware we had lying around, some of which was 30+ years old. I finally got fed up and went to Bed, Bath, and Beyond and bought a 13-piece Calphalon (sp?) pot and pan set, as well as an Analon knife set. Are these reliable brands, will I regret these purchases?
They seemed sturdy and well-made, but I figured I'd get the opinion of fellow kitchen dwellers.
Thanks!
